My Life....One Woman's Journey to Wholeness
by Martha Merle Cathey Keener


Oh come one................you all knew that God, Tommy and Mary Grace were the ONLY ones who REALLY knew me; who I trusted ALL my fears, hopes, dreams, secrets...etc with.......


So they were the ones who told when to play; when to focus; when to sleep; when to cry; when to scream, etc....


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..there I am filling  up my $8 pool from the dollar store...playing in the water ..........right?...............and clear as a bell my ears and my heart heard HIM speak..with sweet quiet Mary Grace whispering with all the courage of Miss Much afraid who had finally reached the top of the mountain..the mountain of spices...(Hannah Hunyard...) in March 2009.....




Just so you know who I am...
